Narrative Text
Hello everyone, come back with my blog. I hope the readers
never get bored with my blog. this time I will explain about Narrative Text.
Come on, let's see, I hope you are happy.
🌻 Definition Of Narrative Text 🌻
Narrative
Text is a form of story text, and the story that is written will not usually be
experienced by the author himself but in the form of an imagination or legend.
So even though both Narrative Text stories
have very clear differences from Recount text.
Narrative
Text is also a type of text that tells an imaginative event (imaginary) in a
sequence or systematic and functions to be able to entertain readers.
🌹 Purpose of
Narrative Text 🌹
The main purpose of a narrative text is to be
able to entertain and attract readers (to amuse or to can entertain the
reader).
By being able to present a plot or story or
an event that has a beginning in a problem which then creates a conflict and
finally at the end of the story there is a resolution or a happy or even sad
ending.
🌼 Characteristic
features 🌼
The following are the characteristics of
Narrative Text, including:
1. Narrative Text tells a
story from the past.
2. Use a noun to replace
animal, person, or object pronouns in the story.
3. It is more of a folk tale
or is already known and developed in the community as a shared story even
though it can be retold in different versions of the story.
4. The elements of the story
consist of time and place settings, story themes, story characters, story
atmosphere, conflict and resolution.
5. Can be arranged into a
simple sequence or composed of several complex sequences. Sequence is a series
of statements in which the execution is sequential / coherent. What is
found first will be done first and if the order of the statements is reversed
it will have a different meaning.
🍂 Generic
Structure of Narrative Text 🍂
1.
Orientation
Orientation
is one of the first parts of Narrative Text which is located at the beginning
of the story or in the first paragraph. The function of the Orientation is
to be able to introduce readers or listeners to the various characters of the
narrative story, the time, and the setting of the story.
This
Orientation section can usually be written briefly and can answer the question
Who?, what?, Where?, or When?
By
answering 2 questions from some of these questions, for example Who? and
Where? the Orientation part of a story that can already be formed.
2.
Complication
Complication
is one of the next parts of Narrative Text. This section is a part that
readers and listeners are waiting for because it is in this section that a
problem in the story arises so that it can make the narrative text more
interesting to be easy to read and less boring.
In
making Narrative Text, writers may also give one or more problems in this
section so that it can make the text more interesting. Usually, a problem
that arises in this section involves the various main characters of the text.
The problems that arise can be divided into the following:
- Natural Conflict
Namely on a problem that arises because the actor of the story is dealing with the forces of nature. - Social Conflict.
That is one of the problems that have arisen because these actors face each other. They met at the same time with different interests. - Psychological Conflict
That is a problem that has arisen when the perpetrator of the story deals with himself. The contradiction between a good and a bad value, between greed and tolerance.
3.
Resolution
Resolution
is one of the next parts after Complication. In this section of
Resolution, problems in one of the Complication sections are starting to be
resolved with various solutions.
The
solution to be able to solve or end the problem will not always be good and
happy, sometimes there are bad and sad solutions.
In
addition, there are also solutions to be able to solve problems that do not end
the problem completely until the end of the story is hanging, making readers
more curious. It aims to be able to maintain readers' interest in the story.
4.
Re-orientation
Re-orientation
is one of the last parts of Narrative text and is usually at the end of a story
or in the last paragraph.
Re-orientation
is also an option, which means that authors who wish to create this Narrative
Text may or may not use the Re-orientation section.
This
section usually contains various useful messages for readers related to the
story. These messages can be in the form of a moral message, or teachings
from the author.
5.
Coda
Coda
is a change that has occurred in characters and lessons or a moral value that
can be taken in the story. This code also has the same characteristics as
re-orientation, which is optional.

📌 Languange
Features of Narrative Text 📌
To better understand the use of narrative text , let's dive into its
characteristics.
🌳Specific
character
In a narrative, the author will create a specific
character as the main character in the story. Not only the main character,
but all the characters in the story will be written clearly, starting from
their name, shape, color and character. For example Ariel the mermaid, the
dwarves who have different characteristics, Dana the brave Moana.
🌳past
tense
Because writing in narrative text is a fiction or
imagination, the grammar that
is more commonly used is the past
tense . Usually this grammar is very obvious if you read
legends or fairy tales that have ancient settings.
🌳Time
conjunction and adverb of time
As explained above, narrative text is written sequentially based on time
chronology. Therefore, time
conjuction is needed as a link for time, such as w hen, before, after, and others to
explain the chronology of an event. Meanwhile, adverb of time is needed in
writing narrative text with
the aim of showing the time when an event occurs, for example o nce upon a time, one day, and
others.
🌳Action
verb
The use of action
verbs in narrative
text is one of the characteristics that need to be
remembered. This action verb is
a verb that shows an action by a character. Due to the grammar used in narrative text form of the past tense, the action verb is also written in the
form of a second, for example l aughed,
cried, walked, swam, said, married, and others.
🌳Direct
speech
If you read a narrative, you will definitely notice that
there are quotes taken from the conversations of characters in the
story. This is also known as direct
speech . It is very important to write dialogue between
characters so that important information can be conveyed attractively and the
story will be more 'alive'. In addition, this will also make it easier for
readers to understand the contents of the story.

📝Type Of Narrative Text That I Made Is Fable
🐍 "Noble Hearted Rat" 🐭
One day, there was a snake
resting in the forest. The snake was under the surface of a tree so dense that
people rarely saw it, but it was starving and looking for its prey. The snake
was so fierce that many did not dare to approach and befriend him.
It was getting late, the
snake was very hungry because he was holding it from noon.
The snake began to come out
of the nest and he was looking for prey silently. As he passed the apple tree,
the snake saw a mouse eating the fallen apples Without thinking, the snake
approached slowly with great care so that the mouse wouldn't notice it When it
was near, a bird came and told the mouse to run away because a snake was about
to eat it, the mouse ran with all it’s strength to get away from the snake, but
the snake did not give up because he was hungry, the snake too chase.
Arriving in the middle of
the bush, the snake unwittingly enters a trap where the trap belongs to a
hunter, the snake is carried by the hunter to make the mouse safe. But in the
middle of the road the mouse heard the sound of a snake asking for help, the
mouse saw the hunter bringing the snake to eat.
In the small heart of the
mouse, he could not bear to see the snake that was being carried by the hunter.
Finally he looked for a way
to release the snake from the hunter. In the mouse's mind he looks for a way,
namely by asking the bird to distract the hunter, after being distracted then
the mouse will release the snake from the hunter's hand. It turned out that the

released from the hunter's grasp, they both ran from the place before the
hunters returned.
When it was far from the
place, the snake seemed silent because he felt embarrassed, a mouse that he
wanted to prey on actually saved his life without having any resentment or
fear.
With nervousness, the snake
even apologized to the mouse for his actions this afternoon who wanted to hunt
him down, without fear or worry, the tikut received forgiveness from the snake,
and the mouse invited the snake to eat the apple he had taken earlier.
